ATR_ANALYSIS(1p)

NAME
ATR_analysis - analyse a smart card ATR

SYNOPSIS
ATR_analysis [ATRstring]

DESCRIPTION
ATR_analysis is used to parse the ATR (Answer To Reset) sent by a smart card.

The command also tries to find the card model using an ATR database stored in a text file called smartcard_list.txt. The smartcard_list.txt file is searched in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/smartcard_list.txt, $HOME/.smartcardlist.txt and /usr/local/share/pcsc/smartcard_list.txt.

Example:
 $ ATR_analysis '3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52'
 ATR: 3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
 + TS = 3B --> Direct Convention
 + T0 = A7, Y(1): 1010, K: 7 (historical bytes)
   TB(1) = 00 --> Programming Param P: 0, I: 0
   TD(1) = 40 --> Y(i+1) = 0100, Protocol T = 0
 -----
   TC(2) = 18 --> Work waiting time: 960 x 24 x (Fi/F)
 + Historical bytes: 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52

 Possibly identified card:
 3B A7 00 40 18 80 65 A2 08 01 01 52
